Description

  The present invention relates to a regenerative energy type power generation apparatus that transmits rotational energy of a rotor to a generator via a hydraulic transmission that combines a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor, and a method for mounting the hydraulic pump. The renewable energy type power generation device is a power generation device using renewable energy such as wind, tidal current, ocean current, river flow, etc., and examples thereof include wind power generation device, tidal current power generation device, ocean current power generation device, river current power generation device and the like. be able to.

In recent years, from the viewpoint of conservation of the global environment, wind power generators using wind power and renewable energy power generators including power generators using tidal currents, ocean currents, or river currents have been widely used. In the regenerative energy type power generation device, the kinetic energy of wind, tidal current, ocean current or river current is converted into the rotational energy of the rotor, and the rotational energy of the rotor is converted into electric power by the generator.
In this type of regenerative energy type power generation device, since the rotational speed of the rotor is conventionally smaller than the rated rotational speed of the generator, a mechanical (gear type) speed increaser is provided between the rotor and the generator. It was. That is, the rotational speed of the rotor is increased to the rated rotational speed of the generator by the speed increaser and then input to the generator.
However, as the size of the renewable energy type power generation device increases for the purpose of improving the power generation efficiency, the weight and cost of the gearbox tend to increase. For this reason, in place of the mechanical gearbox, a regenerative energy type power generation apparatus employing a hydraulic transmission in which a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor are combined is attracting attention.
For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a wind power generator provided with a hydraulic transmission including a hydraulic pump attached around a main shaft and a hydraulic motor driven by the pressure oil of the hydraulic pump. In this wind turbine generator, a hydraulic pump is driven by rotation of a main shaft, a hydraulic motor is rotated by pressure oil supplied from the hydraulic pump, and a generator is driven by rotation of the hydraulic motor.

However, the torque of the main shaft of the wind turbine generator is very large, and it becomes a problem how to transmit this large torque from the main shaft to the hydraulic pump.
For example, as a method for transmitting torque of a general rotating shaft, a method using a key that can be easily machined at low cost is known, but it is difficult to reliably transmit the large torque with a key. It is.
In this regard, Patent Documents 1 and 2 do not disclose a specific fixing structure of the hydraulic pump to the main shaft, and do not disclose any solution to the above problem in the wind power generator using the hydraulic transmission.
In addition, in a renewable energy type power generation device other than a wind power generation device, it is necessary to solve the above problem as long as a hydraulic transmission is used.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a regenerative energy type power generator having a hydraulic pump fixing structure capable of transmitting a large torque and capable of being processed easily and at low cost, and a method for attaching the hydraulic pump. To do.

A regenerative energy power generator according to the present invention that solves the above-described problems includes a hub to which a rotor blade is attached, a main shaft having one end connected to the hub, a cylindrical member provided around the main shaft, A regenerative energy type power generator comprising a hydraulic pump attached to the main shaft via the cylindrical member, a hydraulic motor driven by pressure oil supplied from the hydraulic pump, and a generator connected to the hydraulic motor. There,
A key groove comprising a first groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the main shaft and a second groove formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical member extends along the axial direction of the main shaft. Multiple formed in the direction,
A plurality of keys fitted in each keyway are provided.

According to the above regenerative energy type power generating device, since the main shaft and the cylindrical member are connected by the plurality of keys, a large torque can be transmitted from the main shaft to the hydraulic pump via the plurality of keys.
Also, each key can be easily manufactured in a short time, so it is possible to provide a plurality of keys at a low cost.

The plurality of keys includes a reference key fitted in one of the key grooves and a split key divided into a pair of key pieces fitted in the other key grooves,
Each of the pair of key pieces is an inclined surface in which at least a part of a side surface along the radial direction of the main shaft is inclined with respect to the axial direction of the main shaft,
You may further provide the key piece moving mechanism in which at least one of the pair of key pieces advances / retreats in the key groove in the axial direction of the main shaft.

Thus, by providing a split key consisting of a pair of key pieces having an inclined surface in the key groove, and at least one key piece is advanced and retracted in the axial direction of the main shaft, the main shaft circumferential direction of the advanced and retracted key piece Can be shifted in the circumferential direction of the main shaft by the action of the inclined surface. As a result, the overall cross-sectional shape of the split key can be adjusted, so even if the positions of the first groove and the second groove are slightly shifted in the circumferential direction, the key is divided into the shape of the key groove including the first groove and the second groove. The cross-sectional shape of the key can be matched. Therefore, the side surface of the split key can be fitted to the side wall surface of the key groove, and a load can be applied to all the keys evenly.
The reference key fitted in one of the plurality of key grooves may be an integral key that is not divided.

The split key is split on a split surface parallel to the axial direction of the main shaft and along the radial direction of the main shaft;
Of the side surfaces of the pair of key pieces, the portion that contacts the side wall surface of one of the first groove and the second groove is a side surface parallel to the axial direction of the main shaft,
The inclined surface of the pair of key pieces is a portion that contacts a side wall surface of the other groove of the first groove and the second groove,
The key piece moving mechanism may advance and retract both the pair of key pieces in the axial direction of the main shaft in the key groove.

  Thus, the portion that contacts the side wall surface of the other groove is an inclined surface, and a split key divided into a pair of key pieces on the split surface along the radial direction of the main shaft is provided in the key groove, By moving both of the pair of key pieces back and forth in the axial direction of the main shaft, the center position of the key pieces in the main shaft circumferential direction can be shifted by the action of the inclined surface. For this reason, since the sectional shape of the split key as a whole can be adjusted, the side surface of the split key can be fitted to the side wall surface of the key groove, and a load can be applied evenly to all the keys.

The pair of key pieces includes a first key piece fitted into the first groove and a second key piece fitted into the second groove,
One convex part of the first key piece and the second key piece is engaged with the concave part of the other key piece,
The inclined surfaces of the pair of key pieces may be side surfaces of the convex portion and the concave portion that are in contact with each other.

  In this way, the divided key divided into the first key piece and the second key piece, which are respectively fitted in the first groove and the second groove and are engaged with each other by the convex portion and the concave portion whose side surfaces are inclined surfaces, is formed as a key groove. By providing the first key piece or the second key piece in the axial direction of the main shaft, the center position of the advanced and retracted key piece in the main shaft circumferential direction can be shifted by the action of the inclined surface.

The hydraulic pump includes a ring-shaped cam member mounted on the outer periphery of the cylindrical member, a plurality of pistons that are operated by the ring-shaped cam member, and a cylinder that guides the plurality of pistons.
The cylindrical member on which the ring-shaped cam member is mounted on the outer periphery is divided into a plurality of divided pieces that are divided in the circumferential direction of the main shaft and provided for each key groove,

Since the hydraulic pump is provided on the outer periphery of the cylindrical member, the force from the piston of the hydraulic pump acts on the cylindrical member via the ring-shaped cam member. The resultant force acts as a tangential component force and a radial component force in the tangential direction and radial direction of the main shaft, respectively.
Due to this tangential component force, a bending moment acts on the divided piece and tries to lift the divided piece to the opposite side of the rotation direction of the main shaft.
Thus, by inclining the contact surface of each divided piece with the adjacent divided piece, the component in the radial direction presses the end of the divided piece in the rotational direction to the main shaft side, so that the lift of the divided piece can be prevented.

The ring-shaped cam member is divided in a circumferential direction of the main shaft and is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped pieces,
A ratio n1 / n2 between the number n1 of the divided pieces of the cylindrical member and the number n2 of the arc-shaped pieces is represented by n1 / n2 = 1 / m (where m is a natural number).

In this way, the ring-shaped cam member is divided into a plurality of arc-shaped pieces, and the arc-shaped piece is divided by aligning the positions of the arc-shaped pieces and the cylindrical member in the circumferential direction of the main shaft. It can be reduced that the corner on one side is caught on the outer periphery of the divided piece, or the corner on the arc-shaped piece side of the divided piece is caught on the arc-shaped piece.
In addition, by setting the number of arc-shaped pieces in contact with the outer periphery of each divided piece to m, the force from the piston of the hydraulic pump acts equally on each divided piece via the m arc-shaped pieces. Thereby, the force which acts on the key provided about each division | segmentation piece can be equalized via each division | segmentation piece.

The ring-shaped cam member is divided in a circumferential direction of the main shaft and is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped pieces,
A ratio n1 / n2 between the number n1 of the divided pieces of the cylindrical member and the number n2 of the arc-shaped pieces is represented by n1 / n2 = 1 / m (where m is a natural number).
The positions in the circumferential direction of the main shaft between the divided portions of the cylindrical piece of the cylindrical member and the divided portions of the arc-shaped piece of the ring-shaped cam member may be shifted from each other.

In this way, the ring-shaped cam member is divided into a plurality of arc-shaped pieces, and the positions of the arc-shaped pieces and the cylindrical members are shifted in the circumferential direction of the main shaft, so that The corners on the divided piece side can be brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the divided piece, and the corners on the arc-shaped piece side of all the divided pieces can be brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the arc-shaped piece. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the corner portion on the divided piece side of the arc-shaped piece from being caught by the corner portion on the arc-shaped piece side of the divided piece.
In addition, by setting the number of arc-shaped pieces in contact with the outer periphery of each divided piece to m, the force from the piston of the hydraulic pump acts equally on each divided piece via the m arc-shaped pieces. Thereby, the force which acts on the key provided about each division | segmentation piece can be equalized via each division | segmentation piece.

  In the case of the fixing structure of the hydraulic pump 5 described above, the hydraulic pump 5 is attached to the main shaft 4 in the following procedure.

FIG. 7 is a view showing a state in which the hydraulic pump 5 is attached to the main shaft 4.
As shown in FIG. 7, the hydraulic pump 5 is assembled in advance on the outer periphery of the cylindrical member 10 to form a hydraulic pump unit 18 (the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5) in which the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5 are integrated.
Then, the hydraulic pump unit 18 (the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5) is placed in the main shaft 4 so that the first groove 20 formed in the main shaft 4 and the second groove 21 formed in the cylindrical member 10 face each other. Attach to the outer periphery. The pair of main shaft bearings 8 and 9 is attached to the main shaft 4 in advance before the cylindrical member 10 is provided on the outer periphery of the main shaft 4.

Since the first key piece 34 can be moved in the circumferential direction of the main shaft 4, even if the relative position of the second groove 21 with respect to the first groove 20 is slightly shifted, the split key 30B can be easily moved in a short time. Can be attached.
Further, when the split key 30B is mounted in the key groove 25, the first key piece 34 can be moved in the circumferential direction while moving in the axial direction of the main shaft 4, so that the side surfaces of the pair of key pieces 34, 36 34 </ b> C, 34 </ b> D, 36 </ b> C, 36 </ b> D can be brought into close contact with the circumferential wall surfaces of the first groove 20 and the second groove 21. Thereby, a load can be equally applied to the reference key 30A and the split key 30B.
Since the key groove 25 has an opening, the reference key 30A and the split key 30B can be attached after the hydraulic pump unit 18 (the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5) is attached. Thereby, for example, the attachment time can be significantly shortened compared with the case where the hydraulic pump unit 18 is attached so that the key groove of the hydraulic pump unit 18 is fitted to the key already attached to the main shaft 4.
By providing the lid member 40, the reference key 30A and the split key 30B can be prevented from being extracted.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, portions corresponding to the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, description thereof is omitted, and differences are mainly described.

FIG. 8 is an enlarged view showing the periphery of the hydraulic pump 5 attached to the main shaft 4. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line GG in FIG. In FIG. 9, the hydraulic pump 5 is not shown.
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a first groove 50 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the main shaft 4 and a second groove formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical member 10 are formed at the rear end side of the main shaft 4. A groove 51, a reference key 30A, a plurality of division keys 54B, and a holding member 56 for preventing the hydraulic pump 5 from coming off are provided.

  The second groove 51 has an opening at the other end on the rear end side of the main shaft 4. A holding member 56 is detachably attached to the other end portion of the main shaft 4 so as to close the opening of the second groove 51.

FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the split key 62. FIG. 11 is a view taken in the direction of arrow H in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the split key 54 </ b> B includes a pair of key pieces 64 and 66 that are split on a split surface parallel to the axial direction of the main shaft 4 and along the radial direction of the main shaft 4.
Of the side surfaces of the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66, the side surfaces 64 </ b> B and 66 </ b> B that are in contact with the wall surface on the circumferential direction side of the second groove 51 are formed with side surfaces parallel to the axial direction of the main shaft 4.
Of the side surfaces of the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66, the side surfaces 64 </ b> A and 66 </ b> A that contact the circumferential wall surface of the first groove 50 are formed to be inclined with respect to the axial direction of the main shaft 4. Has been. The inclination angles of the side surfaces 64A and 66A are the same as the inclination angle of the first groove 50 described later.

The first groove 50 is formed to be inclined with respect to the axial direction of the main shaft 4.
Further, the length of the first groove 50 in the axial direction is longer than the axial direction of the plurality of split keys 54B. Thereby, the some division | segmentation key 54B can move to an axial direction.
Since the first groove 50 is closed at the other end on the rear end side of the main shaft 4, the reference key 30 </ b> A and the plurality of split keys 54 </ b> B do not come out to the rear end side.
The split key 54 </ b> B includes a key piece moving mechanism that moves the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 in the key groove 55 in the axial direction of the main shaft 4.
The key piece moving mechanism includes a first adjustment screw 70 that fits into a screw hole 68 provided in the end face of the first key piece 34 and a first screw hole 68 that fits in a screw hole 68 provided in the end face of the second key piece 36. 2 adjustment screws 72.
Since the axial lengths of the first groove 50 and the second groove 51 are longer than the axial lengths of the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66, the first adjustment screw 70 and the second adjustment screw 72 are used. By rotating, the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 can be moved in the axial direction.
Specifically, when the first adjustment screw 70 is rotated in the tightening direction, the first key piece 64 moves to the rear end side. On the other hand, when the first adjustment screw 70 is rotated in the loosening direction, the first key piece 64 moves to the hub side. The second key piece 64 also moves in the same manner as the first key piece 66. Then, when the first adjustment screw 70 and the second adjustment screw 72 are rotated in opposite directions, the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 move in different directions.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 are moved in the axial direction of the main shaft 4 in the key groove 55, and the respective positions of the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 are illustrated. , The right side shows a cross-sectional view (KK cross-sectional view, LL cross-sectional view) of the arrow view in FIG. 12A shows a state in which the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 are located in the center of the key groove 55, and FIG. 12B shows the first key piece 64 and the second key. A state is shown in which the pieces 66 are positioned at the center and the rear end side of the keyway 55, respectively.
The KK sectional view and the LL sectional view are step views along the center position of the key groove 55.

  12A and 12B, the side surfaces 64A and 66A of the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 are brought into contact with the wall surface of the first groove 50 in the circumferential direction of the main shaft 4. By moving the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 in the axial direction of the main shaft 4, the main shaft 4 of the portion inserted into the first groove 50 of the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 is moved. The center position CL in the circumferential direction is shifted. This is because the circumferential wall surface of the first groove 50, the side surface 64 </ b> A of the first key piece 64, and the side surface 66 </ b> A of the second key piece 66 are inclined with respect to the axial direction of the main shaft 4. is there.

  Therefore, the sectional shape of the split key 62 as a whole is arbitrarily adjusted, the side surface of the split key 62 is fitted to the wall surface on the circumferential side of the key groove 55, and the load is evenly applied to all the keys 30A, 62. be able to.

  In the case of the fixing structure of the hydraulic pump 5 described above, the hydraulic pump 5 is attached to the main shaft 4 in the following procedure.

As shown in FIG. 8, first, the split key 62 is fitted into the first groove 50. At this time, the first key piece 64 is inserted so as to come into contact with the end surface on the hub side in the first groove 50, and then the second key piece 66 is inserted into the end portion on the rear end side in the first groove 50. To do. Then, the second key piece 66 is moved to the hub side, and the side surface 66 </ b> A is brought into close contact with the circumferential wall surface of the first groove 50. Thereafter, the first key piece 64 is moved to the rear end side for fine adjustment, and the side surface 64 </ b> A is brought into close contact with the circumferential wall surface of the first groove 50. At this time, only the lower part of the split key 62 is fitted into the first groove 50, and the upper part is exposed from the outer peripheral surface of the main shaft 4. The first key piece to be inserted into the first groove 50 is the key piece having the larger area of the end surface opposite to the end surface having the screw hole 68, the hub side (back side) in the first groove 50. To place.
On the other hand, the hydraulic pump 5 is assembled in advance on the outer periphery of the cylindrical member 10 to form a hydraulic pump unit 18 (the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5) in which the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5 are integrated. The assembly of the hydraulic pump 5 may be performed in parallel with the operation of fitting the split key 62 into the first groove 50, or may be performed after the cylindrical member 10 is attached to the main shaft 4.
Next, the hydraulic pump unit 18 (the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5) is attached to the outer periphery of the main shaft 4 from the rear end side of the main shaft 4. At this time, the hydraulic pump unit 18 is attached while fitting the upper part of the split key 62 into the second groove 51 of the cylindrical member 10.
Next, the holding member 56 is attached to the rear end portion of the main shaft 4 so that the hydraulic pump unit 18 (the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5) does not come out to the rear end side.
Finally, a pump bearing 28 for supporting the hydraulic pump 5 is attached.

As described above, according to the fixing structure of the hydraulic pump 5 in the present embodiment, the split key 54B including the pair of key pieces 64 and 66 is provided, and the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 are connected to the main shaft 4. By moving in the axial direction, the side surfaces 64A and 66A of the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 can be brought into close contact with the circumferential wall surface of the first groove 50. Thereby, a load can be equally applied to the reference key 30A and the split key 54B.
Further, since the opening of the second groove 51 is blocked by the holding member 56, the hydraulic pump unit 18 (the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5) can be prevented from coming out.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of the main shaft 4 to which the hydraulic pump 5 is attached, and shows the main shaft 4, the cylindrical member 10, and the ring cam 29.
As shown in FIG. 13, the cylindrical member 10 provided on the outer periphery of the main shaft 4 includes a plurality of divided pieces 10 </ b> A divided in the circumferential direction of the main shaft 4.
The cylindrical member 10 is divided so that the number of divisions is the same as the number of key grooves 25, and one divided piece 10 </ b> A is provided for each key groove 25.
The contact surface 10B of each divided piece 10A with the adjacent divided piece 10A is inclined with respect to the radial direction of the main shaft 4 so as to be displaced in the rotational direction of the main shaft 4 as going outward in the radial direction of the main shaft 4.

As shown in FIG. 14, the resultant force of the piston 26 acting on the divided piece 10 </ b> A acts on the outer periphery of the ring cam 29. At this time, a tangential component force F2 and a radial component force F1 act on the tangential direction and the radial direction of the main shaft 4, respectively.
Due to this tangential component force F2, a bending moment acts on the divided piece 10A. This bending moment is obtained by multiplying the tangential component force F <b> 2 by the height H of the divided piece 10, and tries to lift the divided piece 10 to the side opposite to the rotation direction of the main shaft 4.
Further, the radial component force F <b> 1 presses the divided piece 10 </ b> A against the main shaft 4. The radial component force F <b> 1 acts in the vicinity of the center portion in the middle of the circumferential direction of the outer periphery of the split piece 10. The radial component force F <b> 1 acts on the position of the main shaft 4 in the rotational direction with respect to the reference key 30 because the contact surface 10 </ b> B of the divided piece 10 is inclined in the rotational direction of the main shaft 4.
On the other hand, a surface pressure is applied from the main shaft 4 including a reaction force of the radial component force F1 and a reaction force of the bending moment. These surface pressures increase in the vicinity of the end opposite to the rotation direction of the main shaft 4 by the amount of the bending moment. Therefore, the resultant force F3 of these surface pressures acts on a position in the vicinity of the end on the opposite side to the rotation direction of the main shaft 4 of the split piece 10.
Since the radial component force F1 acts at a position away from the position where the resultant force F3 acts by a distance e, a moment in a direction to press the divided piece 10A against the main shaft 4 acts, thereby suppressing the lifting of the divided piece 10A. it can.

As shown in FIG. 13, the ring cam 29 provided on the outer periphery of the cylindrical member 10 includes a plurality of arc-shaped pieces 29 </ b> A divided in the circumferential direction of the main shaft 4.
The positions in the circumferential direction of the main shaft 4 are the same as the division location of the arc-shaped piece 29A of the ring cam 29 and the division location of the division piece 10A of the cylindrical member 10.
At this time, the ratio n1 / n2 between the number n1 of the divided pieces 10A of the cylindrical member 10 and the number n2 of the arc-shaped pieces 29A is expressed by the following equation (1).
n1 / n2 = 1 / m (where m is a natural number) (1)
The ring cam 29 is composed of the arc-shaped pieces 29A, and the positions of the arc-shaped pieces 29A in the circumferential direction of the main shaft 4 coincide with the divided positions of the divided pieces 10A of the cylindrical member 10. It is possible to reduce the fact that the corner on the divided piece side is caught on the outer periphery of the divided piece 10A, or the corner on the arc-shaped piece side of the divided piece 10A is caught on the arc-shaped piece 29A.
Further, by setting the number of arc-shaped pieces 29A in contact with the outer periphery of each divided piece 10A to m, the force from the piston 26 of the hydraulic pump 5 is evenly applied to each divided piece 10A via the m arc-shaped pieces 29A. Act on. Thereby, the force acting on the reference key 30A and the divided key 30B provided for each divided piece 10A can be made equal through the divided pieces 10A.

In the present embodiment, a case has been described in which the positions of the divided portions of the arc-shaped pieces 29A of the ring cam 29 and the divided portions of the divided pieces 10A of the cylindrical member 10 coincide with each other in the circumferential direction of the main shaft 4. The present invention is not limited, and as shown in FIG. 15, even if the positions in the circumferential direction of the main shaft 4 are different from each other in the divided portion of the arc-shaped piece 29A of the ring cam 29 and the divided portion of the divided piece 10A of the cylindrical member 10. Good.
At this time, the ratio n1 / n2 between the number n1 of the divided pieces 10A of the cylindrical member 10 and the number n2 of the arc-shaped pieces 29A is also expressed by the above formula (1).
The ring cam 29 is composed of the arc-shaped pieces 29A, and the positions where the arc-shaped pieces 29A are divided in the circumferential direction of the main shaft 4 from the divided positions of the divided pieces 10A of the cylindrical member 10 are shifted from each other. A state in which the corners on the divided piece side of the arc-shaped piece 29A are in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the divided piece 10A, and the corners on the arc-shaped piece side of all the divided pieces 10A are in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the arc-shaped piece 29A Can be. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the corner on the divided piece side of the arc-shaped piece 29A from being caught by the corner on the arc-shaped piece side of the divided piece 10A.
In addition, when the positions of the divided portions of the arc-shaped piece 29A and the divided portions of the divided piece 10A are shifted from each other, the positions of the divided portions of the arc-shaped piece 29A and the divided portions of the divided piece 10A are the same. Furthermore, the force from the piston 26 of the hydraulic pump 5 acts equally on each divided piece 10A via the m arcuate pieces 29A. Thereby, the force which acts on the reference | standard key 30A and the division | segmentation key 30B via each division | segmentation piece 10A can be equalized.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the wind power generator 1 has been described as a specific example of the renewable energy power generator, but the present invention can also be applied to a renewable energy power generator other than the wind power generator 1.
For example, a power generation device using a tidal current, a sea current or a river current, in which the tower 15 is submerged in the sea or underwater, and the main shaft 4 rotates by receiving a tidal current, a sea current or a river current by the rotor 2. The present invention may be applied to.

  The present invention relates to a regenerative energy type power generation apparatus that transmits rotational energy of a rotor to a generator via a hydraulic transmission that combines a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor, and a method for mounting the hydraulic pump. The renewable energy type power generation device is a power generation device using renewable energy such as wind, tidal current, ocean current, river flow, etc., and examples thereof include wind power generation device, tidal current power generation device, ocean current power generation device, river current power generation device and the like. be able to.

In recent years, from the viewpoint of conservation of the global environment, wind power generators using wind power and renewable energy power generators including power generators using tidal currents, ocean currents, or river currents have been widely used. In the regenerative energy type power generation device, the kinetic energy of wind, tidal current, ocean current or river current is converted into the rotational energy of the rotor, and the rotational energy of the rotor is converted into electric power by the generator.
In this type of regenerative energy type power generation device, since the rotational speed of the rotor is conventionally smaller than the rated rotational speed of the generator, a mechanical (gear type) speed increaser is provided between the rotor and the generator. It was. That is, the rotational speed of the rotor is increased to the rated rotational speed of the generator by the speed increaser and then input to the generator.
However, as the size of the renewable energy type power generation device increases for the purpose of improving the power generation efficiency, the weight and cost of the gearbox tend to increase. For this reason, in place of the mechanical gearbox, a regenerative energy type power generation apparatus employing a hydraulic transmission in which a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor are combined is attracting attention.
For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a wind power generator provided with a hydraulic transmission including a hydraulic pump attached around a main shaft and a hydraulic motor driven by the pressure oil of the hydraulic pump. In this wind turbine generator, a hydraulic pump is driven by rotation of a main shaft, a hydraulic motor is rotated by pressure oil supplied from the hydraulic pump, and a generator is driven by rotation of the hydraulic motor.

US Patent Application Publication No. 2010/0032959 European Patent Application No. 09166576

However, the torque of the main shaft of the wind turbine generator is very large, and it becomes a problem how to transmit this large torque from the main shaft to the hydraulic pump.
For example, as a method for transmitting torque of a general rotating shaft, a method using a key that can be easily machined at low cost is known, but it is difficult to reliably transmit the large torque with a key. It is.
In this regard, Patent Documents 1 and 2 do not disclose a specific fixing structure of the hydraulic pump to the main shaft, and do not disclose any solution to the above problem in the wind power generator using the hydraulic transmission.
In addition, in a renewable energy type power generation device other than a wind power generation device, it is necessary to solve the above problem as long as a hydraulic transmission is used.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a regenerative energy type power generator having a hydraulic pump fixing structure capable of transmitting a large torque and capable of being processed easily and at low cost, and a method for attaching the hydraulic pump. To do.

A regenerative energy power generator according to an aspect of the present invention that solves the above-described problem includes a hub to which a rotor blade is attached, a main shaft having one end connected to the hub, and a cylinder provided around the main shaft. A regenerative energy type comprising a member, a hydraulic pump attached to the main shaft via the cylindrical member, a hydraulic motor driven by pressure oil supplied from the hydraulic pump, and a generator connected to the hydraulic motor A power generator,
A key groove comprising a first groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the main shaft and a second groove formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical member extends along the axial direction of the main shaft. Multiple formed in the direction,
With multiple keys fitted in each keyway ,
The hydraulic pump includes a ring-shaped cam member mounted on the outer periphery of the cylindrical member, a plurality of pistons that are operated by the ring-shaped cam member, and a cylinder that guides the plurality of pistons.
The cylindrical member on which the ring-shaped cam member is mounted on the outer periphery is divided into a plurality of divided pieces that are divided in the circumferential direction of the main shaft and provided for each key groove,
Contact surface between the adjacent divided pieces of the divided pieces, so as to shift in the direction of rotation of the main shaft toward the radially outer side of the main shaft, and wherein that you have inclined to the radial direction of the main axis To do.

According to the above regenerative energy type power generating device, since the main shaft and the cylindrical member are connected by the plurality of keys, a large torque can be transmitted from the main shaft to the hydraulic pump via the plurality of keys.
Also, each key can be easily manufactured in a short time, so it is possible to provide a plurality of keys at a low cost.

The plurality of keys includes a reference key fitted in one of the key grooves and a split key divided into a pair of key pieces fitted in the other key grooves,
Each of the pair of key pieces is an inclined surface in which at least a part of a side surface along the radial direction of the main shaft is inclined with respect to the axial direction of the main shaft,
You may further provide the key piece moving mechanism in which at least one of the pair of key pieces advances / retreats in the key groove in the axial direction of the main shaft.

Thus, by providing a split key consisting of a pair of key pieces having an inclined surface in the key groove, and at least one key piece is advanced and retracted in the axial direction of the main shaft, the main shaft circumferential direction of the advanced and retracted key piece Can be shifted in the circumferential direction of the main shaft by the action of the inclined surface. As a result, the overall cross-sectional shape of the split key can be adjusted, so even if the positions of the first groove and the second groove are slightly shifted in the circumferential direction, the key is divided into the shape of the key groove including the first groove and the second groove. The cross-sectional shape of the key can be matched. Therefore, the side surface of the split key can be fitted to the side wall surface of the key groove, and a load can be applied to all the keys evenly.
The reference key fitted in one of the plurality of key grooves may be an integral key that is not divided.

The split key is split on a split surface parallel to the axial direction of the main shaft and along the radial direction of the main shaft;
Of the side surfaces of the pair of key pieces, the portion that contacts the side wall surface of one of the first groove and the second groove is a side surface parallel to the axial direction of the main shaft,
The inclined surface of the pair of key pieces is a portion that contacts a side wall surface of the other groove of the first groove and the second groove,
The key piece moving mechanism may advance and retract both the pair of key pieces in the axial direction of the main shaft in the key groove.

  Thus, the portion that contacts the side wall surface of the other groove is an inclined surface, and a split key divided into a pair of key pieces on the split surface along the radial direction of the main shaft is provided in the key groove, By moving both of the pair of key pieces back and forth in the axial direction of the main shaft, the center position of the key pieces in the main shaft circumferential direction can be shifted by the action of the inclined surface. For this reason, since the sectional shape of the split key as a whole can be adjusted, the side surface of the split key can be fitted to the side wall surface of the key groove, and a load can be applied evenly to all the keys.

In addition, a renewable energy power generation device according to another aspect of the present invention includes:
A hub with attached rotor blades;
A main shaft having one end connected to the hub;
A cylindrical member provided around the main shaft;
A hydraulic pump attached to the main shaft via the cylindrical member;
A hydraulic motor driven by pressure oil supplied from the hydraulic pump;
A regenerative energy type power generator comprising a generator coupled to the hydraulic motor,
A key groove comprising a first groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the main shaft and a second groove formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical member extends around the main shaft so as to extend along the axial direction of the main shaft. Multiple formed in the direction,
With multiple keys fitted in each keyway,
The pair of key pieces includes a first key piece fitted into the first groove and a second key piece fitted into the second groove,
One convex part of the first key piece and the second key piece is engaged with the concave part of the other key piece,
The inclined surface of the pair of key pieces, Ru sides der of the convex portion and the concave portion in contact with each other.

  In this way, the divided key divided into the first key piece and the second key piece, which are respectively fitted in the first groove and the second groove and are engaged with each other by the convex portion and the concave portion whose side surfaces are inclined surfaces, is formed as a key groove. By providing the first key piece or the second key piece in the axial direction of the main shaft, the center position of the advanced and retracted key piece in the main shaft circumferential direction can be shifted by the action of the inclined surface.

The hydraulic pump includes a ring-shaped cam member mounted on the outer periphery of the cylindrical member, a plurality of pistons that are operated by the ring-shaped cam member, and a cylinder that guides the plurality of pistons.
The cylindrical member on which the ring-shaped cam member is mounted on the outer periphery is divided into a plurality of divided pieces that are divided in the circumferential direction of the main shaft and provided for each key groove,
The contact surface of each divided piece with the adjacent divided piece may be inclined with respect to the radial direction of the main shaft so as to be displaced in the rotation direction of the main shaft as it goes radially outward of the main shaft. .

Since the hydraulic pump is provided on the outer periphery of the cylindrical member, the force from the piston of the hydraulic pump acts on the cylindrical member via the ring-shaped cam member. The resultant force acts as a tangential component force and a radial component force in the tangential direction and radial direction of the main shaft, respectively.
Due to this tangential component force, a bending moment acts on the divided piece and tries to lift the divided piece to the opposite side of the rotation direction of the main shaft.
Thus, by inclining the contact surface of each divided piece with the adjacent divided piece, the component in the radial direction presses the end of the divided piece in the rotational direction to the main shaft side, so that the lift of the divided piece can be prevented.

The ring-shaped cam member is divided in a circumferential direction of the main shaft and is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped pieces,
A ratio n1 / n2 between the number n1 of the divided pieces of the cylindrical member and the number n2 of the arc-shaped pieces is represented by n1 / n2 = 1 / m (where m is a natural number).
The positions in the circumferential direction of the main shaft may be the same as the division location of the divided piece of the cylindrical member and the division location of the arc-shaped piece of the ring-shaped cam member.

In this way, the ring-shaped cam member is divided into a plurality of arc-shaped pieces, and the arc-shaped piece is divided by aligning the positions of the arc-shaped pieces and the cylindrical member in the circumferential direction of the main shaft. It can be reduced that the corner on one side is caught on the outer periphery of the divided piece, or the corner on the arc-shaped piece side of the divided piece is caught on the arc-shaped piece.
In addition, by setting the number of arc-shaped pieces in contact with the outer periphery of each divided piece to m, the force from the piston of the hydraulic pump acts equally on each divided piece via the m arc-shaped pieces. Thereby, the force which acts on the key provided about each division | segmentation piece can be equalized via each division | segmentation piece.

The ring-shaped cam member is divided in a circumferential direction of the main shaft and is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped pieces,
A ratio n1 / n2 between the number n1 of the divided pieces of the cylindrical member and the number n2 of the arc-shaped pieces is represented by n1 / n2 = 1 / m (where m is a natural number).
The positions in the circumferential direction of the main shaft between the divided portions of the cylindrical piece of the cylindrical member and the divided portions of the arc-shaped piece of the ring-shaped cam member may be shifted from each other.

In this way, the ring-shaped cam member is divided into a plurality of arc-shaped pieces, and the positions of the arc-shaped pieces and the cylindrical members are shifted in the circumferential direction of the main shaft, so that The corners on the divided piece side can be brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the divided piece, and the corners on the arc-shaped piece side of all the divided pieces can be brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the arc-shaped piece. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the corner portion on the divided piece side of the arc-shaped piece from being caught by the corner portion on the arc-shaped piece side of the divided piece.
In addition, by setting the number of arc-shaped pieces in contact with the outer periphery of each divided piece to m, the force from the piston of the hydraulic pump acts equally on each divided piece via the m arc-shaped pieces. Thereby, the force which acts on the key provided about each division | segmentation piece can be equalized via each division | segmentation piece.

Each keyway is open at the other end of the main shaft opposite to the one end connected to the hub,
It is good also as providing further the cover member which is provided in the said other end part side of the said main shaft so that attachment or detachment is possible, and closes the opening of the said keyway.

Since the key groove has an opening, it is possible to insert the key into the key groove after fitting the cylindrical member to which the hydraulic pump is attached to the outer periphery of the main shaft, and greatly reduce the installation time of the hydraulic pump. Can do.
Moreover, it can prevent that a key is extracted by providing the said cover member.

Is moved in the axial direction of the main shaft 4, the center position CL of the first key piece 34 in the circumferential direction of the main shaft 4 is shifted. This is because the side surfaces 34 A and 34 B of the first key piece 34 and the side surfaces 36 A and 36 B of the second key piece 36 are inclined with respect to the axial direction of the main shaft 4.

  Therefore, the sectional shape of the split key 32 as a whole is arbitrarily adjusted, and the side surface of the split key 32 is fitted to the wall surface on the circumferential side of the main shaft 4 of the key groove 25 so that the load is evenly distributed to all the keys 30. You can hang it.

  In the case of the fixing structure of the hydraulic pump 5 described above, the hydraulic pump 5 is attached to the main shaft 4 in the following procedure.

FIG. 7 is a view showing a state in which the hydraulic pump 5 is attached to the main shaft 4.
As shown in FIG. 7, the hydraulic pump 5 is assembled in advance on the outer periphery of the cylindrical member 10 to form a hydraulic pump unit 18 (the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5) in which the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5 are integrated.
Then, the hydraulic pump unit 18 (the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5) is placed in the main shaft 4 so that the first groove 20 formed in the main shaft 4 and the second groove 21 formed in the cylindrical member 10 face each other. Attach to the outer periphery. The pair of main shaft bearings 8 and 9 is attached to the main shaft 4 in advance before the cylindrical member 10 is provided on the outer periphery of the main shaft 4.
Next, the reference key 30A is mounted in the key groove 25. Subsequently, the split keys 30B are attached to the remaining key grooves 25, respectively. At this time, the split key 30B is mounted in the key groove 25 while moving the first key piece 34 in the axial direction and the circumferential direction of the main shaft 4 with respect to the second key piece 36 as described above.
After the split keys 30 are provided in all the remaining key grooves 25, the lid member 40 is then attached to the end portion on the rear end side of the main shaft 4 so that the reference key 30A and the split key 30B do not come out.
Finally, a pump bearing 28 for supporting the hydraulic pump 5 is attached.
The hydraulic pump 5 may be assembled before the cylindrical member 10 is attached to the main shaft 4 or after the cylindrical member 10 is attached to the main shaft 4.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 2, the hydraulic pump 5 houses a ring cam 29 attached to the outer periphery of the main body 11 of the cylindrical member 10, a piston 26 operated by the ring cam 29, a ring cam 29 and the piston 26. There are some which are configured by a number of components such as the casing 27 and a pump bearing 28 provided between the casing 27 and the cylindrical member 10. Thus, the hydraulic pump 5 composed of a large number of parts needs to be maintained more frequently than the main shaft bearings 8 and 9.
Therefore, by providing the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5 on the rear end side with respect to the pair of main shaft bearings 8 and 9, when the hydraulic pump unit 18 including the hydraulic pump 5 having a high maintenance frequency is detached, the pair of main shafts The bearings 8 and 9 can be attached and detached without removing them.

As described above, according to the fixing structure of the hydraulic pump 5 in the present embodiment, since the main shaft 4 and the cylindrical member 10 are connected by the plurality of keys 30A and 30B, a large torque is transmitted from the main shaft 4 to the hydraulic pump 5. be able to. Since each of these keys 30A and 30B can be easily manufactured in a short time, a plurality of keys 30A and 30B can be inexpensively provided.
A reference key 30A and a split key 30B are provided. First, the reference key 30A is attached to the key groove 25, and then the split key 30B is attached to the remaining key groove 25, thereby attaching a plurality of keys 30A and 30B. Work can be easily and quickly installed. That is, when the reference key 30A is attached to the first key groove 25, the main key 4 and the cylindrical member 10 can be moved in the circumferential direction without the split key 30B being inserted into the other key groove 25. The key 30A can be easily attached in a short time.
Subsequently, for example, if the reference key 30A is to be attached to the second key groove 25, the reference key 30A is already in the first key groove 25, so that the main shaft 4 and the cylindrical member 10 are rotated. Since it cannot be moved in the direction, if the relative position of the second groove 21 with respect to the first groove 20 is slightly deviated, a long time is required for the mounting operation. However, in the present invention, the split key 30B is provided with a pair of key pieces 34, 36 having side surfaces 34A, 34B, 36A, 36B inclined with respect to the axial direction of the main shaft 4, so that the second key piece 36 can be provided. Since the first key piece 34 can be moved in the circumferential direction of the main shaft 4, even if the relative position of the second groove 21 with respect to the first groove 20 is slightly shifted, the split key 30B can be easily moved in a short time. Can be attached.
Further, when the split key 30B is mounted in the key groove 25, the first key piece 34 can be moved in the circumferential direction while moving in the axial direction of the main shaft 4, so that the side surfaces of the pair of key pieces 34, 36 34 </ b> C, 34 </ b> D, 36 </ b> C, 36 </ b> D can be brought into close contact with the circumferential wall surfaces of the first groove 20 and the second groove 21. Thereby, a load can be equally applied to the reference key 30A and the split key 30B.
Since the key groove 25 has an opening, the reference key 30A and the split key 30B can be attached after the hydraulic pump unit 18 (the cylindrical member 10 and the hydraulic pump 5) is attached. Thereby, for example, the attachment time can be significantly shortened compared with the case where the hydraulic pump unit 18 is attached so that the key groove of the hydraulic pump unit 18 is fitted to the key already attached to the main shaft 4.
By providing the lid member 40, the reference key 30A and the split key 30B can be prevented from being extracted.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, portions corresponding to the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, description thereof is omitted, and differences are mainly described.

FIG. 8 is an enlarged view showing the periphery of the hydraulic pump 5 attached to the main shaft 4. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line GG in FIG. In FIG. 9, the hydraulic pump 5 is not shown.

Of the side surfaces of the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66, the side surfaces 64 </ b> A and 66 </ b> A that contact the circumferential wall surface of the first groove 50 are formed to be inclined with respect to the axial direction of the main shaft 4. Has been. The inclination angles of the side surfaces 64A and 66A are the same as the inclination angle of the first groove 50 described later.

The first groove 50 is formed to be inclined with respect to the axial direction of the main shaft 4.
Further, the length of the first groove 50 in the axial direction is longer than the axial direction of the plurality of split keys 54B. Thereby, the some division | segmentation key 54B can move to an axial direction.
Since the first groove 50 is closed at the other end on the rear end side of the main shaft 4, the reference key 30 </ b> A and the plurality of split keys 54 </ b> B do not come out to the rear end side.
The split key 54 </ b> B includes a key piece moving mechanism that moves the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 in the key groove 55 in the axial direction of the main shaft 4.

Since the axial lengths of the first groove 50 and the second groove 51 are longer than the axial lengths of the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66, the first adjustment screw 70 and the second adjustment screw 72 are used. By rotating, the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 can be moved in the axial direction.
Specifically, when the first adjustment screw 70 is rotated in the tightening direction, the first key piece 64 moves to the rear end side. On the other hand, when the first adjustment screw 70 is rotated in the loosening direction, the first key piece 64 moves to the hub side. The second key piece 64 also moves in the same manner as the first key piece 66. Then, when the first adjustment screw 70 and the second adjustment screw 72 are rotated in opposite directions, the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 move in different directions.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 are moved in the axial direction of the main shaft 4 in the key groove 55, and the respective positions of the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 are illustrated. , The right side shows a cross-sectional view (KK cross-sectional view, LL cross-sectional view) of the arrow view in FIG. 12A shows a state in which the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 are located in the center of the key groove 55, and FIG. 12B shows the first key piece 64 and the second key. A state is shown in which the pieces 66 are positioned at the center and the rear end side of the keyway 55, respectively.
The KK sectional view and the LL sectional view are step views along the center position of the key groove 55.

  12A and 12B, the side surfaces 64A and 66A of the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 are brought into contact with the wall surface of the first groove 50 in the circumferential direction of the main shaft 4. By moving the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 in the axial direction of the main shaft 4, the main shaft 4 of the portion inserted into the first groove 50 of the first key piece 64 and the second key piece 66 is moved. The center position CL in the circumferential direction is shifted. This is because the circumferential wall surface of the first groove 50, the side surface 64 </ b> A of the first key piece 64, and the side surface 66 </ b> A of the second key piece 66 are inclined with respect to the axial direction of the main shaft 4. is there.

At this time, a tangential component force F2 and a radial component force F1 act on the tangential direction and the radial direction of the main shaft 4, respectively.
Due to this tangential component force F2, a bending moment acts on the divided piece 10A. This bending moment is obtained by multiplying the tangential component force F <b> 2 by the height H of the divided piece 10, and tries to lift the divided piece 10 to the side opposite to the rotation direction of the main shaft 4.
Further, the radial component force F <b> 1 presses the divided piece 10 </ b> A against the main shaft 4. The radial component force F <b> 1 acts in the vicinity of the center portion in the middle of the circumferential direction of the outer periphery of the split piece 10. The radial component force F <b> 1 acts on the position of the main shaft 4 in the rotational direction with respect to the reference key 30 because the contact surface 10 </ b> B of the divided piece 10 is inclined in the rotational direction of the main shaft 4.
On the other hand, a surface pressure is applied from the main shaft 4 including a reaction force of the radial component force F1 and a reaction force of the bending moment. These surface pressures increase in the vicinity of the end opposite to the rotation direction of the main shaft 4 by the amount of the bending moment. Therefore, the resultant force F3 of these surface pressures acts on a position in the vicinity of the end on the opposite side to the rotation direction of the main shaft 4 of the split piece 10.
Since the radial component force F1 acts at a position away from the position where the resultant force F3 acts by a distance e, a moment in a direction to press the divided piece 10A against the main shaft 4 acts, thereby suppressing the lifting of the divided piece 10A. it can.

It is possible to reduce the fact that the corner on the divided piece side is caught on the outer periphery of the divided piece 10A, or the corner on the arc-shaped piece side of the divided piece 10A is caught on the arc-shaped piece 29A.
Further, by setting the number of arc-shaped pieces 29A in contact with the outer periphery of each divided piece 10A to m, the force from the piston 26 of the hydraulic pump 5 is evenly applied to each divided piece 10A via the m arc-shaped pieces 29A.

Good.
At this time, the ratio n1 / n2 between the number n1 of the divided pieces 10A of the cylindrical member 10 and the number n2 of the arc-shaped pieces 29A is also expressed by the above formula (1).

A state in which the corners on the divided piece side of the arc-shaped piece 29A are in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the divided piece 10A, and the corners on the arc-shaped piece side of all the divided pieces 10A are in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the arc-shaped piece 29A Can be. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the corner on the divided piece side of the arc-shaped piece 29A from being caught by the corner on the arc-shaped piece side of the divided piece 10A.
In addition, when the positions of the divided portions of the arc-shaped piece 29A and the divided portions of the divided piece 10A are shifted from each other, the positions of the divided portions of the arc-shaped piece 29A and the divided portions of the divided piece 10A are the same. Furthermore, the force from the piston 26 of the hydraulic pump 5 acts equally on each divided piece 10A via the m arcuate pieces 29A. Thereby, the force which acts on the reference | standard key 30A and the division | segmentation key 30B via each division | segmentation piece 10A can be equalized.
